WAITING.

Serene, / fold my hands ard wait,
Nor care for wind, or tide or sea;
rave NO more 'gainst time or fate.
For 10 my own shall come to me.
stay my haste, make delays,
For what avaIls this eager pace?
/ stand amid the eternal ways,
And what is mine shall know my face.
Asleep, awake. by night or day,
The friends / seek are seeking nae;
No wind can drive my barque astray
Nor change the tide of destiny.
What matter if stand alone?
wait with joy the coming years;
My heart shall reap where it has sown,
And garner up its fruits of tears.
The waters know their own and draw
The brook that springs in yonder height;
So flows the good with equal law
Unto the soul of pure delight.
The stars come nightly to the sky,
The tidal wave unto the sea;
Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor high
Can keep my own away from me.
